Enzyme

Real World Example

Imagine you're in a long line at a coffee shop, waiting for your morning caffeine fix. Just like a helpful barista who steps in to speed up the process by quickly taking and preparing orders, enzymes work in cells to accelerate chemical reactions. In this analogy, the line of customers is like the chemical reaction that needs to happen, the barista represents the enzyme facilitating and speeding up the process, and the faster service means the coffee (or the reaction's product) is ready much sooner, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
